Butterfly & Wildlife Park at Long Sutton, Spalding, Lincolnshire, was voted the countys leading family attraction in 2003, and as well as being a leading conservation facility, it offers a great family day out whatever the weather.
A ticket to the 15-acre Butterfly and Wildlife Park grants access to a renowned Tropical House - one of the UK's largest - with hundreds of variegated butterflies and birds wheeling about the exotic fauna. Among them are Sugar Birds that feed from the feeding stations along the walkways, populated with plants including Clivia miniata, Lantana camara, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, Heliotropium Indicum, Strellizia reginae, Brugmansia and wall-climbing Bougainvilleas. There's also an abundance of reptiles, insects and Leaf-cutting Ants (with a colony in the Ant Room), while the Creepy Crawlie House has the likes of the red-kneed tarantula and scorpions.
The family attraction also boasts slithering and crawling residents such as Caiman, toads, frogs, rat snakes, corn snakes, iguanas, lizards, water dragons, geckos, terrapins, millipedes, stick insects and snails - just the ticket if you want to frighten your mum!
A family day out to Butterfly and Wildlife Park includes furrier friends too, from the Raccoons and Pygmy Goats to Pot Bellied Pigs, llama
